Happy National Day! ๐ธ๐ช
Sweden celebrates its National Day on 6 June, honouring two important moments in Swedish history: the election of Gustav Vasa as King of Sweden in 1523 and the adoption of a new constitution in 1809, which helped lay the foundations of modern Swedish democracy.
The National Day is a moment to reflect on the values Sweden seeks to live in practice: openness, equality, innovation, sustainability, responsibility and cooperation.
